The players, coaches, and management appear to be of this mindset.

Now it's up for the fanbase to resist the pessimistic grouching they've become accustomed to. Hearing the Red Bull crowd sing their support while getting trounced got me angry about our quiet, overfed spectators again.

Be the change. Support the club.
Not really a fair comparison. There's a difference between a team playing their first game in a brand new arena against a team leagues above them and getting trounced and our team getting trounced by Columbus in November because we couldn't start on time again after 13 years of losing.

I agree with not being pessimistic to start the season, but the situations aren't comparable

Will fix everything
So, in thinking about this a bit, my two biggest needs are:

- A 2nd pair RD to play with one of Power/Byram
- A true top line forward.

a good complimentary RD could take our D from good to elite. A top 6 of:

Byram-Dahlin
Power-RD
Samuelsson-Clifton/Joki

Is an excellent setup, top to bottom.

I don't think its necessarily a bad D with Joki/Clifton in the top 4....I just think finding that good 2nd pair RD to stabilize whatever LD isn't playing with Dahlin would give us a ton of stability on defense.

A true top line forward is going to be very difficult, simply because most of them will have NMC/NTCs attached to them. But....when the opportunity comes, Adams has to parlay the prospect depth into a true top line forward.

With the new bottom six signing it appears the top prospects are getting shut out this year. I was hoping to see at least one of these in the opening day line-up.
Rosen, Kulich, Helenius, Ostlund, R. Johnson

You dony keep them on the roster if they are outside the regularly dressed 12_6/3 line up.

If the lines are

Peterka-tage-tuch
Benson-cozens-Quinn
Zuck-McLeod-Greenway
Malestyn-lafferty-brck
Krebs

Ostlund and helrniys need time to adjust to NA hockey.

RyJo is likely the first call up at D
The F call up us likely Rosen or Kulich depending on position.

Both Zucker and greenway are UFAs who could be traded opening up 3rd line spots
So, in thinking about this a bit, my two biggest needs are:

- A 2nd pair RD to play with one of Power/Byram
- A true top line forward.
Th er y fo not need a top F
They have a bunch of prosprct F thst are developing and thst us before we factor in the cap

They have a bunch of prosprct F coming up. Some could be ready when Clifton contrsct ends


Onr of the others can pksy 2RD.

I'm guessing they think one of JJP or Quinn becomes that by the end of this season, and if not, they go big game hunting.
